A couple of trees on Ancestry have second wife as Sarah Mansell.

There is this marriage (but it's in Yorkshire) to a Sarah Green (but NOT Green Cox):-

There is a Marriage Announcement in the Staffordshire Advertiser dated 02 May 1857

On the 28th ultimo, at Stoke-on-Tern, by the Rev W Honeyman, Mr Samuel Lester, to Mary, only daughter of Mr George Preston, of Ollerton

So it looks like the Samuel Lester in the 1857 Marriage married Mary Preston not Sarah Mansell

That rules out Sarah Mansell then.

Wonder if it was a second marriage for "Sarah".

There is this marriage of a Sarah Cox, possibly to a Mr. Green:-

First name(s) SARAH

Can't tell what happened to her after that - lots of Sarah Cox-es married and/or died in Dudley reg district 1851-61, and in 1861 and later there are lots of married Sarahs born 1929 Sedgley.

None with middle name Green, unfortunately.
